Chapter 408 Picking up a young immortal as a fiancé (4)

Xiao Baiwan spotted the young man approaching, and it stood up and suddenly raised its voice, "Meow!"

Bai Yao was frightened. She moved in a disorderly manner and bumped into the wooden box placed beside her. The box fell to the ground and all the things inside fell out.

They were a few books, and the words written on the cover were very eye-catching.

"The Domineering Immortal King Insists on Me to Take Off My Body", "The Cold Master Is Always Unsatisfied with My Desires", "Two or Three Things Between the Enchanting Demon King and Widow Li"...

Wen Xing's sight shifted several times on the books on the ground.

Bai Yao quickly picked up the books on the ground and put them in the box and closed it. She squatted on the ground holding the box, staring at the tall and graceful young man in white in front of her.

Xiao Baiwan didn't know what awkward atmosphere was. It slowly approached Wen Xing and rubbed his feet.

Wen Xing smiled, "Xiao Baiwan."

Xiao Baiwan tilted his head and responded to the boy.

Then, Wen Xing's eyes fell on Bai Yao, "Junior Sister Bai."

Bai Yao also forced a smile as if nothing had happened, "Senior Brother Wen, I'm so happy to see you!"

They tacitly didn't mention the box she was holding, but the box was still there, and the books inside were still there, and those imaginative titles were somewhat unorthodox.

Bai Yao touched her little box, she blinked her innocent eyes, her expression was simple and ignorant, "Senior Brother Wen, meeting is fate, I'll treat you to something."

This was trying to bribe him with food.

Wen Xing's eyes curved slightly, and he nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Junior Sister Bai."

He accepted her bribe, so naturally he would not go out and talk nonsense, and Bai Yao quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In ancient times, there was a lack of entertainment life, and there were no mobile phones to play with. She didn't like to read those books with all kinds of things. These colored novels were her only spiritual food, but cultivating immortals was not easy. The books she had hidden before were discovered by her parents and then destroyed.

Bai Yao collected these books with great difficulty while her parents were out, and she had to hide them in a good place to avoid being noticed by them.

Suddenly, a cold wind swept out from the forest, and Bai Yao sneezed because of the cold.

A figure appeared vaguely in the woods.

Wen Xing stood in front of Bai Yao and asked, "Who is it?"

The figure slowly approached. It was a hunched old man with white hair. He was not in good health and coughed a few times while leaning on a cane. Seeing the two children, he was overjoyed and said, "Great, I finally saw someone. My two friends, I'm lost in the forest. Can you please take me out?"

Bai Yao stood up holding the box. Wen Xing was taller than her. She took a step outside and saw that it was an old man with a white beard. She asked, "Why did you get lost here?"

The old man sighed, "I heard that Yuheng Sect is a great sect of immortal cultivation. I have heard of it for a long time. , I wanted to join the sect, but I didn’t have the foundation for cultivation, so Yuheng Sect didn’t accept me. But I was unwilling to give up. As long as I could enter the sect , I

would be willing to cook for the rest of my life. "The old man smiled bitterly, "But I am really not a cultivator. I finally got a job as a cook and entered Yuheng Sect, but it was just a waste of time. For so many years, I haven’t laid any foundation. Now that I am old, it’s time to go back to my roots. "

For cultivators, the higher their cultivation, the longer their lifespan, but for mortals, their lifespan is only a short hundred years. According

to the old man, he wasted decades of time before he understood the truth of giving up. Now he wanted to go down the mountain, but because he rarely came out, he got lost in the forest.

The old man looked at Bai Yao and said kindly: "You must be the eldest lady. On weekdays, the kitchen will send the freshest lotus seed soup to Miaoyue Peak because the daughter of the sect master likes to drink it."

Bai Yao rolled her eyes and said: "You are lost, then I will take you out."

The old man was flattered, "The eldest lady just needs to show me the way, but I dare not trouble the eldest lady to lead the way in person."

"It doesn't matter, I have time now."

Wen Xing said: "I will accompany you."

The old man hurriedly thanked him and followed the two children.

But after a while, Bai Yao said: "It's strange, I clearly remember that the way out is to go this way, why is there no way?"

There were green trees on all sides, and the path had long disappeared, and it was impossible to tell east, south, west and north.

The old man said: "Miss, maybe you remembered it wrong. Why don't you think about it again? Just point me a way, and I won't bother you anymore."

"But..." Bai Yao looked around in distress, "I can't even remember the way out."

The old man was anxious and panicked, "What should I do?"

Bai Yao frowned.

Wen Xing said softly: "Don't worry, Junior Sister Bai, think about it slowly."

Bai Yao nodded, and the next moment, her brows relaxed, and she changed her direction and took a step, "Maybe we should go that way."

The old man asked: "Miss, are you sure it's that way?"

Bai Yao was very confident, "It's that way, you will know if you follow us."

The old man smiled, "Yes."

Wen Xing withdrew his gaze from observing the old man, and he followed Bai Yao slowly without making a sound.

But after walking for a distance, the old man's face showed a bit more impatience. He wanted to get out quickly, but he couldn't find the right way.

It was getting darker.

The wind started to blow, and the night mist quickly spread into the woods. The mist was so thick that the bright moonlight couldn't easily penetrate and fall.

A man and a woman holding hands ran out of the mist. No one knew what had happened to them. They looked a bit wolfish.

Qin Yan was breathing rapidly, and Ming Nuannuan coughed. When they saw someone in front of them, Qin Yan quickly let go of Ming Nuannuan's hand. He greeted Wen Xing, and his curious eyes fell on the unfamiliar Bai Yao.

Bai Yao frowned, "How come you are here?"

Ming Nuannuan felt guilty at first, but then she felt more confident when she saw Bai Yao and Wen Xing walking together, "What's wrong with us being here? Aren't you guys here too?"

The old man stepped forward quickly, "We are lost."

Ming Nuannuan thought it was ridiculous, "Bai Yao, you grew up in Yuheng Sect, how could you get lost?"

The old man's face changed, "Second Miss, do you know which way to go out?"

Bai Yao was about to speak out to stop him, but Ming Nuannuan had already raised her hand and pointed, and answered quickly, "Just go in that direction."

Suddenly, the night wind swept in violently.

Wen Xing transformed a long sword into his hand and flew up. The sword light swept across, forcing the old man who had condensed into a ball of black mist to retreat several steps.
